“…The cur rent results extend and confirm previous reports, which showed that one single total or partial sleep deprivation has only a tran sient antidepressive effect in depressive syndromes, irrespective of their diagnostic attribution [13]. In agreement with a pre vious pilot-study from our Department a series of PSDs is capable to stabilize the clinical effect among secondary depres sions [14].…”

In a naturalistic clinical trial we administered three partial sleep deprivations (PSD) within one week to a diagnostically heterogeneous sample of 30 depressed patients and applied serially three dexamethasone suppression tests (DST). We observed that this PSD treatment induced sustained clinical improvement independently from nosological attribution. Abnormal DST results prior to PSD treatment failed to predict clinical course, and normalized after beneficial response.

“…As a result of the increased risk of relapse in the early postpartum period, bipolar disorder is ideally suitable for conducting systematic studies to examine the role of sleep loss and other factors including hormonal changes in the development of puerperal psychosis. Sleep deprivation improves negative symptoms but provokes the positive symptoms in schizophrenia (72,73). This may explain why childbirth is a powerful precipitant of a psychotic relapse among patients with diverse psychiatric disorders.…”

Sleep loss and postpartum psychosis

2003

Postpartum psychosis is a rare but severe psychiatric disorder. Its diagnostic status remains controversial, but several studies have shown that the majority of patients who develop psychosis immediately following childbirth suffer from bipolar disorder. The pathophysiology of postpartum psychosis is poorly understood, but factors such as primiparity, difficult labor, genetic predisposition, and hormonal changes have been suggested as etiological factors. This paper reviews the literature on the relationship of sleep disruption and postpartum psychosis. It is argued that sleep loss resulting from the interaction of various putative causal factors may be the final common pathway in the development of psychosis in susceptible women. Clinical significance of these findings, including strategies to prevent postpartum psychosis, are discussed and suggestions are made for future research directions.

“…Neben der Anwendung und des Einsatzes des AMDP-Systems im Rahmen von Psychopharmaka-Studien gibt es eine Reihe von Arbeiten, die zeigen, daß das System auch im Kontext der Überprüfung anderer therapeutischer Interventionen sinnvoll eingesetzt werden kann. Höchli et al (1985;s. auch Trachsleret al, 1985) untersuchten die Wirksamkeit partiellen Schlafentzugs bei schizophrenen Patienten (n = 12) mit depressiver Symptomatik (u.a.…”

The present paper gives a review of German studies concerning the AMP and AMDP system that have been published since 1983. The test manual to the AMDP-system, published 1983, is complemented herewith. The following topics are discussed: Syndromes/scales on the basis of psychological and somatic outcomes, studies on reliability (especially interrater reliability); capability to differentiate diagnoses; comparison with other assessment instruments, especially biological parameters; results of several diagnoses (schizophrenia, affective disorders, depression etc.); range of application (psychopharmacological studies, diagnostic questions, etc.). The review points out that the AMDP system covers a very wide and elaborate range. Some topics are pointed out that would merit additional study.
